Chapter 384 Suspicious Behavior
Hearing the discussion of the "Miao Dan Fang" by several people, Qin Tian immediately had some guesses, and a hint of curiosity rose in his heart.
So, after entering the city gate, Qin Tian simply followed them. Anyway, with his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, coupled with the power of spiritual consciousness comparable to the late stage of foundation building, he was not afraid of being discovered by a few mere Qi Refining cultivators.
As he kept running all the way, after passing through several busy streets, the noisy sounds of the surrounding downtown gradually disappeared, and he entered a rather quiet and remote place in the city.
Compared with the prosperity and noise of several main streets, there are not many shops here, and there is no longer the grand occasion of shoulder to shoulder.
But the saying goes that good wine needs no bush!
The "Miao Dan Fang" that became famous as soon as it opened was located at the corner of a remote street.
When Qin Tian followed several Qi Refining cultivators and came to the gate of "Miao Dan Fang", he couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
Probably because there was a magnificent three-story attic in front of them, with many monks coming in and out, just like a scene of a bustling crowd.
The attic had a grand and simple appearance, and the overall decoration was elegant and quiet. On the door beam with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, there was a gilded plaque hanging high, on which were written the three characters "Miao Dan Fang" like a dragon and a snake dancing.
Inside the attic, Tao Ran, who was wearing the clothes of the shopkeeper, and Lu Yao, who was acting as a guide maid, were vaguely seen, greeting the monks who entered the store with great enthusiasm, and they were very busy.
In addition, there were three female cultivators in the Qi Refining Period dressed in green clothes and dressed as maids in the attic of "Miao Dan Fang". They were obviously also acting as guides, but there was no trace of the black evil poisonous woman.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted. And in his heart, he also sincerely recognized the abilities of Tao Ran and others.
You should know that one of the three people, the Black Evil Poison Girl, was once a saint of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect with a noble status. The other two are monster hunters who have been wandering on the edge of life and death for many years.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if such a trio were to fight, they might be good players among the cultivators of the same level, but if they switched to business, they would basically be no different from laymen.
But such a trio, in the chaotic sea area of Qianling City where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, has managed a pill shop with a good scale and prosperous business in such a short time.
The hardships and difficulties experienced in this process can almost be imagined!
The matter of opening a pill shop directly determines whether a large number of pills can be sold safely in the future, so there is absolutely no room for any mistakes.
This is why Qin Tian rushed here immediately after finishing his work at hand, even at the risk of being tracked.
But the scene of the "Miao Danfang" in front of him gave him a big surprise!
Therefore, Qin Tian, who was secretly delighted, did not reveal his true appearance under the drive of a certain curiosity. Instead, he still maintained his identity as a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage and slowly walked towards the gate of the Danfang.
But when he set off, his eyes quietly swept across the top of the attic.
Probably because of the mysterious connection of the "Soul Forbidden Card", Qin Tian could clearly sense that the black evil poisonous woman who was ordered to live in seclusion behind the scenes was meditating in a secret room at the top of the attic.
Seeing this, Qin Tian did not alarm anyone and entered the attic very casually.
Soon after entering, a beautiful maid in a green robe came up to greet him with a smile on her face and saluted enthusiastically:
"Welcome customers to our store. I am Lan Xiu, the little girl. I wonder what kind of elixir you want to buy?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian did not comment:
"I came in for a stroll on a whim. I haven't found anything I like yet!"
The maid opposite did not change her expression when she heard this. She still said enthusiastically:
"In this case, please feel free to do as you please. If you find anything you like, please tell me at any time. The elixir in our store is of outstanding quality and is inexpensive. You will definitely not be disappointed!"
After saying this, the beautiful maid saluted again politely, and then turned around and left to greet other guests.
Seeing that the woman's words and deeds were quite decent, as if she was well-trained, Qin Tian could not help but nod secretly. Out of curiosity, he began to stroll around the attic hall.
Since the first floor hall is very spacious, it is divided into several areas. There are also many display cabinets set up against the wall, which are filled with many exquisite jade bottles containing various kinds of elixirs.
Even on each jade bottle, the name of the elixir, as well as the price and efficacy of the elixir are clearly engraved.
Many monks shuttled back and forth, each choosing their favorite elixir, and sometimes there were waves of bargaining sounds, and the scene was extremely lively.
In the depths of the first floor hall, there is a special forbidden light curtain, and behind it is the staircase. Only those who hold a specific VIP token can go up to the second floor to choose higher quality elixirs.
As for those who can hold the VIP token, according to Qin Tian's observation, most of them are masters above the foundation-building stage. Even if there are occasional Qi-refining stage monks who go up to the second floor, they must be wealthy.
This can be slightly perceived from the robes worn by the monks and the bulging storage bags around their waists.
Moreover, there was a special maid in green at the staircase to receive guests. Everything seemed to be in good order, and there was no sense of chaos in such a large store.
Although Qin Tian chose to be a hands-off manager due to limited time for cultivation.
But seeing the alchemy shop he had set up with his own eyes, which could have such a prosperous business, Qin Tian, who was born in a poor family, felt a sense of accomplishment.
Moreover, seeing the bottles of elixirs being sold continuously and the spirit stones being continuously deposited into the account, Qin Tian was secretly very happy, and felt that the decision to open the alchemy shop was extremely wise.
After all, this kind of business with almost no cost is absolutely unique and cannot be replicated in the entire Endless Demon Sea Immortal Cultivation World.
Not long after, after Qin Tian strolled around the lobby on the first floor and learned about the price of the elixirs, he planned to reveal his identity to the busy Tao Ran couple so that he could enter the second floor for inspection.
However, just as Qin Tian was about to take a step, a maid in green with flickering eyes and suspicious movements attracted his attention.
Probably because in the counter area specializing in the sale of auxiliary elixirs, a beautiful maid was busy sorting out the jade bottles of elixirs, obviously looking for some rare and unconventional elixirs for customers entering the store.
Perhaps because "Miao Dan Fang" had only recently opened, the maids were not yet familiar with the wide variety of elixirs, so this seemingly ordinary action of searching for elixirs was quite common.
